You might be the first one to reverse engineer. Is this a pretty stand alone device? Got pictures or links to more information? Would be great to have this option available. Here's a picture of the module itself. It has ground, power, CANH, and CANL connections and typically mounts under the car so...

I'm working through setup of an E36 M3 for track usage. I miss the continual tire pressure display on my Porsche to monitor the state of my tires. Aftermarket systems (Stack, etc.) are too rich for my blood so I picked up a control unit from an F30 BMW for cheap. Does anyone have experience with the...

This is awesome - thanks for sharing with us!

Any updates or lessons learned since you originally documented everything?

I loaded up Windows 10 in Parallels and was able to update my RCP3 to the 2.13.0 beta firmware.

Do the Windows and Mac versions of the app have any differences that may cause the issue?

When I attempt a firmware upgrade on my Mk3, I receive an error. Using v1.12.1 of the app on OSX. Tried the alternative way to update and the app didn't present the setup option (didn't see the device).

Let me know of any troubleshooting steps....


Thanks!

I was able to figure out the /dev/events addressing problem. fix was changing the config.ini input to "device_%(name)s = probesysfs,provider=hidinput". thanks google! I do have a question with the rc.local script. when I add the script for the automatic startup, works good (RPI boots into...

Apologize in advance if this has been addressed, but I’m at Road Atlanta and can’t figure out how to keep my iPhone from dimming the screen then locking while in dashboard view.


Thanks!

Updated vehicle speed above. Found two possible sources: one may be actual, the other speedo display.

I was going through the E46 CAN mapping Lua script and it's a great reference as I work through the mappings for my car. Had a question with the handling of the data in a couple cases. Why is the data bitwise AND in the examples below (bit.band): function processWheel(id, data, offset&#4...

Added oil temp above!

Hi Jeff, this is great! Classic reverse engineering. Did you have a chance to map these into RaceCapture CAN channels yet? Pretty excited - even though only a few are mapped, I have a much better understanding of the CAN data and what to look for. Just fired up my RCP3 and configured what I have so...

Hi Jeff, this is great! Classic reverse engineering. Did you have a chance to map these into RaceCapture CAN channels yet? Thanks Brent! Haven't had a chance to map them into the RCP3 yet. I have a few more updates to build into my analysis tools that will hopefully lead to a handful of additional ...

Here's a chart of what I believe is RPM: Byte 3 (dark orange) is the most significant byte and Byte 2 (light orange) the lower.

Green is RPM decoded: ((Byte 3 * 256) + Byte 2)/4

The following data should be available with a direct CAN connection: RPM Pedal position sensor Throttle position sensor Front left wheel speed Front right wheel speed Rear left wheel speed Rear right wheel speed Vehicle speed Engine coolant temperature Oil temperature Oil pressure Steering angle Ste...

Here's a work-in-progress summary of the PIDs - will try to update this as I test and confirm. PID numbers are decimal, and bytes are numbered 0 -> 7. As of Sept 25: PID 194 Steering Angle Bytes 0 & 1, little endian, signed, X 0.045 (seems to mirror the E46 M3 config; multiplier needs to be test...
